Norco Chaos ( 2005 frame ) with rear Crystalyte 409 in 20" rim, 24" front, gives it a laid back feel.. 8" disk brakes front and back.. motor painted to match frame, laced Radial in very strong reinforced double wall rim with eyelets and 12g spokes.

Battery is 2 x 36v 20ah Lithium Manganese in series for 72v, the BMS has been removed ( I charge with a pair of Thunder Power 1010C chargers with cell level ballancers TP 210V once in a while, but they stay perfectly well ballanced without any help from a BMS and i monitor them manually like a hawk )

Controller has been modified to allow up to 30+ amps giving up 2500w on demand but that only happens on jack rabbit starts from street lights to keep up with traffic in some parts of town, usually cruising at 500 to 700w and 40 km/h.

Cycle Analyst power meter on the handlebars, half grip twist throttle. Single speed BMX gearing, removed deraileurs both front and back, have 2 chainrings up front for manually changing gears if need be, but not really needed.. For a 90 lbs ebike/evmotorbike you can pedal at 10 km/h without power, or motor on to work in a jiffy... rock solid reliable.

Range is really good, not quite as good as Dr Bass, but more than i need .. 72v x 20ah = 1440 wh.. motor only, no pedaling i'm good for 80 km range with battery to spare at 30 km/h.. 60km range at full throttle 45 km/h +
